Video: Pine cone

Pine cone

This pine cone is incredibly sturdy and looks almost real when looked at from far away. It’s made from a single square paper. The camera is on holidays so no video this time, but great diagrams though. Great nature origami by David Petty.

Edit (Jan 30th, 2008): I finally got around making the video, I slowed it down on the difficult parts.

    @Me o_o: origami is just fun, if you have good hand-eye coordination you’ll find it very distracting.

    I used to be very bored in classes, when I realized my professors gave me useless papers that we read once and then basically threw away I thought why not use these to do something useful and keep my eyes open… then after learning the shuriken/ninja star and making the same model over and over (at least 200 at the end of the year) I started to seek for new ones.

    We, as human beings, cannot mimmick nature perfectly as it is, it is one thing more simpler than ourselves, it is nature and let thy be nature.
